US Navy Poster | Assault Prevention | The Daily Caller


Wow. This is one of the dumbest things ive seen in a while. If you dont understand what makes it dumb, then I pity you.
Ive been out of the Navy for about 4 years now. While I miss it at times, its this kind of stupidity that makes me happy I got out.

The sad thing is that they probably need to post these on college campuses, too.

Yeah, but it really boggles the mind.

1. If this is suppose to be taken seriously.....well, how can this be read and be taken seriously. Its dumb beyond comprehension.

2. If this is a joke, then even more shame on the one who came up with it, but even more for the Navy to have this posted.

Yeah.

Though I think the real shame is that these things have to exist in the first place.

Unfortunately yes.

They arent receiving a good reaction to those that follow their facebook page either (mostly service members and ex service members and families), as you can tell from the comments on that pic post.

The Navy's response on their Facebook page:

“Navy fans, we’re appreciative of the interest on a topic that doesn’t get enough serious scrutiny. A few things we’d offer: 1) This is not a Navy-generated poster, but we extended it to get your attention; 2) As sad as it is, you’d be surprised how many people need to be told these seemingly basic things; 3) It’s everyone’s responsibility to stop sexual assault. Let’s get to it,” the Navy wrote.


The Navy explained to TheDC that this is part of its ongoing effort to stamp out sexual assault in its ranks.

“The initial posting was put up with insufficient context,” Navy spokeswoman, LT Alana Garas told TheDC. “We quickly provided it. The intention of posting the poster was to encourage discussion on a serious issue in our Navy. Sexual assault is a crime that will not be tolerated. One sexual assault is too many and the Navy will continue to explore ways to reach our sailors on this serious issue.”

It was probably done a bit "scarcastically" in response to complaints of sexual harrassment. From that standpoint, I can't blame them. On the other hand, how much taxpayer money was spend on these posters?

They should have made this poster in a Sponge Bob theme. If you are going to be silly, then be silly. Sponge Bob says, "Keep your penis out of my holes unless I give you written permission validated and notarized by the ship's Captain or XO." I wonder if they needed this poster on the set of Gilligan's Island???? Ah Maryann! Noooo, I would never spike your coconuts, I mean . . . whatever it is you're drinking . . .

Some people need to be constantly reminded that thier sexual attentions are not always appreciated.
